Ghidini Butterfly Handle: Iconic Design Returns at TECNOMAT Centers 2026

Some design elements remain indelibly etched in memory. Precious details that, since the 1960s, have added a touch of personality to the home: we're talking about the iconic Ghidini handles, a historic company from Val Trompia in the province of Brescia. Like true furniture pieces, they give a personal touch to every room in the house.

The Butterfly Handle: A Design Icon Reimagined

An icon of 1960s design, the Butterfly handle, redesigned by Architect Francesco Lucchese, takes flight again with a renewed form and materials. Originally crafted in die-cast zamak and chrome-plated, it drew inspiration from nature, with its shape easily reminiscent of butterfly wings.

Sixty years later, Ghidini—always sensitive to formal research and models distinguished by technical and aesthetic innovation—presents a redesign of the Butterfly, entrusting it to the expert hand of Francesco Lucchese, an internationally renowned architect and designer. He makes this iconic product current and fashionable.

This is a true metamorphosis, again inspired by nature, transforming the product into an architectural design element. Like a butterfly's wingbeat, the profile remains elegant and sinuous, but the lines become softer and the volumes more solid—always light, never trivial. The grip becomes more ergonomic and wider, better enhancing the entire surrounding space. A careful color study expands the selection of available finishes, a mix between the 1960s mood and today's new interior design trends.

The metamorphosis of the Ghidini Butterfly—a perfect synthesis of tradition, innovation, and design—finds its natural habitat at Tecnomat centers, a leading player in the large-scale retail sector with 30 stores spread across Italy.
